Okay Ingo, I had the same thing happen some time back, with the same card.
Upon issuing the ifconfig eth0, I found the card in promiscuous mode.  I
later realized that I had indeed set it that way myself by running
tcpdump.  check it out, if it is indeed in that mode, just issue the
command ifconfig eth0 -promisc and all will return to normal.
